I was at a loss as to what to write for this series opener. So, I consulted with my very good friend, Christopher Robin to see if I could find some good insight into the Detroit Tiggers:
Quickly realizing that Christopher Robin might not be the best source for information about the Detroit Tiggers, I decided to look elsewhere for inspiration that didn't involve much perspiration.
*Yeah, that character was modeled on me trying to come up with ideas for game threads. Yes, we're going to ignore the fact the movie came out long before TD and the web became ubiquitous. After the Twins decided spotting the Sox a couple of games at home was a bad idea, they brought the broom out for the initial three game series in Chicago. Now, hopefully, the broom is in safe storage, awaiting use after the Twins are done with Detroit. With that, Reader poll! (I say "poll," you say, "trying to see if anyone is paying attention.") 1. Femme Fatale of black and white movie era: Bette Davis or Barbara Stanwyck? 2. Comedic actress of the black and white era: Irene Dunn or Gracie Allen? 3. Best noir detective: Humphrey Bogart or Robert Mitchum? 4. Best suspense director: Alfred Hitchcock or George Cukor? Lineups: 5. Play ball!
